Nationwide Cohesion Day

In his opinion, we at the moment are capable of do what István Tisza didn’t do then: stop one other lethal warfare. The peoples of the Carpathian Basin don’t want warfare, they don’t wish to grow to be victims on the imperial chessboard once more, neither for Brussels, nor for Washington, nor for George Soros. Orbán recalled that 110 years in the past the peoples of the Carpathian Basin fought for his or her sovereignty towards the Hungarians, and that once more then everybody – Czechs, Austrians, Slovaks, Romanians, Serbs and Croats – hoped for and cheered for warfare. However right this moment, when warfare is looming once more, the folks listed here are sending a transparent message to the powers that they’ve discovered their lesson and don’t want warfare anymore.

“With Trianon, Hungary submitted to a merciless, cruel and unjust dictatorship, as a result of June 4 was the day of the tried homicide of the Hungarian nation. On account of Trianon, Hungary misplaced a 3rd of its folks and two thirds of its territory,” Orbán recalled.
“On this present day of nationwide unity, within the looming shadow of one other warfare, we are able to rightly say that historical past is condensing right here in Geszt right this moment. In spite of everything these years, it’s clear that the Trianon dictate was aimed on the dying of our nation, however the nice powers had been mistaken in regards to the character of the Hungarians.”

Now we have a greater likelihood now as a result of we’re free and sovereign, we elect our personal authorities, we’ve the ability.”
